What I really hate about some music
When I listen to music, there are four things that I really bothers me and was wondering if there are others who feel the same way about songs just as strongly as I do. I don't like feeling this way but when I hear these things, I just want to turn the music off and I'm not sure why the song writer doesn't realize he probably has a dud and not a hit. Here they are:
1. When a song writer finds a catchy phrase and the singer repeats the line three times in a row and then a stanza later, here it comes again repeated all three times and this just keeps going on and on.
2. Very similar to the above, a writer writes a real good line of music and then makes the whole song a repeat or variation of this line of music and has no imagination to add a little something in-between.
3. Singers who can't really sing well and think they can but get such really great score of music behind them that if a really good singer sang the song it would be wonderful to listen to. Please understand that carrying a tune to me doesn't make a good singer and I'm not talking about karoke singers here either.
4. Rhyming in a melody.... Please you can predict what the next line of the song is going to be before it is sang because it rhymes with the last line just sang...

@frankmc195 I share none of your complaints. Your #3 grievance I can’t make heads or tails of. You say “carrying a tune to me doesn’t make a good singer” immediately after saying you hate “singers who can’t sing well but think they can.” I don’t follow. I’m curious as to which songs you find antithetical to these transgressions. |
tylermunns anyone who can't sing quite as well as KD Lang, Julie London, Dianna Krall, Sade and of course many more could be subject to that observation by some but not all. You have to understand that this is my personal observations and not anyone elses so it would be understandable that you can't relate to it. I am older and as a music lover my taste have matured.... when you are young you gravitate towards Rock or pop (I still like both) but when you get older like me your taste will probably lean towards Jazz singers which mine has. The purity of some voices with wonderful background music will take you to a higher plane of enjoyment. |
After posting the above I want you to understand that I'm not one dimensional and music by Pink Floyd, Alan Parsons, Cowboy Junkies, 70's music, Smashing Pumpkins Revolution (no I'm not a revolutionary), Jimi Hendrix, Chris Isaak, and many more are all the things I enjoy. Anything that is enjoyable to listen too and doesn't make you want to drive off a cliff when you hear it. |
